Dev container workflow & security concerns with tunnel.

Hello 👋🏻 .

I am trying to migrate my workflow to fully remote development using a home server. Currently, I develop everything in dev containers on a local host, and Coder seems to be especially fit to replace this as it supports dev containers in conjunction with the VSCode Web UI.

I have two questions to this end:

1. Dev containers seem to work fine with the provided template, but is there a way to access a UI (terminal or graphical) similar to VSCode's Add dev container configuration files? (See attached image.)
2. Am I paranoid for disabling the tunnel and putting everything behind a VPN? My projects aren't high value targets or anything, but something about allowing a tunnel into my home server feels irresponsible to me.

Thanks!
